Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, Elliott, Hi, be before we get started on today's episode,
is it all right if I talk to our listeners
about something? Will you be talking to them about planning
a surprise party for my birthday next month? No, it's
a schedule update for the show. Sure it is, um,
Why don't you go ahead and speak directly to the
audience and I'll listen to a bunch of our game

(00:20):
theme songs through these large headphones, so I don't hear
us say, go ahead, Be that's not necessary. I can't
hear you. These are really good headphones. Okay, well, well
be listens to that. I wanted to let you our
listeners know that the next episode will be the last
episode of season one of the Who Was Podcast. We'll

(00:41):
be taking a break. But before we did that, me, Be, Jane, Eric,
Intern Zach, and of course Geraldine wanted to give you
a big thanks for making this first season of the
show so fantastic. Okay, b you can take your headphones
off now, Okay, cool, and don't worry. I'll still act
surprise when you all show up at my villa and

(01:01):
y'all surprise next month on my birthday. Elliott, it's three
all the girlies are getting villas. Now, can we finally
get to this mini episode where we don't do our
normal show but instead offer a hilarious peek into another
dimension of the Who Was? World? Yes? Please Eric play
that theme song? Here we go, bloody, think you know

(01:27):
about the rates from this store? The game is on.
To get some energy and buckle up your brain because
it's signed to play the worst podcast, Because it's time
to play Who Was Who? Live from Tronam. It's who
Was the podcast we're for. We're going on quizzing, a

(01:50):
rush or just kind of you know, vibing with some
very cool folks from history. I'm your answer, be ra Be.
Why don't you finish your lunch before we start recording? Sorry,
I can't hurry you over the taste of these delicious
chicken fingers. I don't think that's how hearing works. M

(02:13):
Those chicken fingers really hit the spot. Actually, funny you
mentioned that. After binging all the episodes of season one
of the Who Was podcast available wherever you get your podcasts,
I've worked up quite an appetite. O m G. You've
got to try these chicken fingers. They're delicious, but be
they're all gone, you ate them, It's okay, we'll just
go get some more. I like the sound of that.

(02:35):
Where do we go to beak or not to beak?
To beak or not to beak? It's beloved and off,
quoted British playwright William Shakespeare's chicken finger restaurant. You mean
to tell me. Throughout the entire season, every time one
of our famous historical friends was getting chicken fingers with
Shakespeare it was at his restaurant. Trust me, I was

(02:58):
as shocked as you are. Literally never mentioned in the
Who Was? Books? Well, I gotta check it out now.
Well before we go, let me show you the commercial.
Fair enough, let's see it. Good morrow tis i acclaimed
playwright William Shakespeare. People are always asking me two things. One, William,

(03:21):
where didst thou get a camera? Too? William? What is
thy heart's greatest passion besides playwriting? Well? One, do you
want to eat chicken fingers or do you want to
ask questions? Because Two? I have always loved the art
of making and sharing chicken fingers with all of my
historical friends, which is why I have opened my new restaurant.

(03:44):
To beak or not to beak? Hi, there's the rub
of twenty ebs and spices. But what really makes T
B O and TV stand out is our dipping sauces.
Here are just a few Julius Sees addressing Midsummer Night's
creamy ranch, Terry Hocki of the show Mustard of venice,

(04:07):
spicy buff Othello mac barbecue, catch up, lea tomato, and
Juliet King Sea as you zu like it and relish,
relish stop talking during the commercial, So come on down
to to beaco not to beak, thou won't regret it.

(04:28):
On Freeway nine, just pass radio shack RSPs written by
Shakespeare's by delegations. Chicken may or may not contain beaks. Wait,
don't pause. The AutoPlay feature of the next video looks
like Shakespeare eating chicken fingers with Harry Houdini. Oh Dick,
we gotta check that out. It's yield hot ones. The

(04:51):
show with hot questions and even hotter chicken I acclaimed
playwright William Shakespeare sit down with other historical figures of
trays of chicken from My Dining Chicken establishment to beak
or not to beak? Quick plug and the dipping sauces
get progressively hotter and hotter. We are in for quite
a ride. Who would have thought that Shakespeare's talents also

(05:15):
included producing short form web series. I don't know, because
this definitely wasn't in the who was books? Truly a
renaissance man. Joining me today is magician and escape artist
Harry Houdini. Thank you, thank you, Hold your applause. It's
an honor to be here now, Harry. Before we dive in,

(05:36):
doest thou think it that fine stomach can handle these sauces?
Trust me, William, as long as you don't punch me
in the stomach. Seeing as that's how I died in
real life, I'm sure I can handle these wings. Who
what a morbid sense of humor. Let's dig in bowl, napatit.
H uh huh, Okay, Wow, that's already pretty hot. Who

(06:02):
I'm sweating more than I did from my belly of
a whale trick, or I had to escape from the
belly of a whale. Speaking of your tricks, Harry, tell
us about that famous metamorphosis trick you would perform with
your wife Bess. Ha ha ha ha. Nice try, Shakespeare,
But a magician never reveals his secrets. Whoa, oh, that's spicy. Jeez,

(06:23):
how many of these chicken fingers do I gotta finish?
They all need to disappear from your plate. Disappear. That
gives me an idea, a braabra the chicken fingers, They're gone.
Or check behind your ear, Willie shakes. Oh my, the

(06:44):
entire tray of chicken is behind my ear. Witchcraft, actually
at Stagecraft. I'm bored. Let's check out another episode. Okay, okay,
how about this one. Amelia Earhart's in it? Oh mg, yes,
that's Orge when the wings get spice. Dear, oh boy Shakespeare.
I see a Dalton Sonnets and Scotch Bonnets, which is

(07:07):
a very fiery pepper. For those who don't know, Dost
thou needed some Shakespeare brand two milk of human kindness
to tame the spice. Not yet another hot enough for you,
Aretha Franklin and another Genghis Khan, the fiercest warrior the

(07:32):
world has ever known, has just taken a bite with
our hottest sauce sweat to do about nothing. What say you?
Good show ye old hot ones with William Shakespeare, brought
to you by to beak or not to beak of

(07:53):
Highway nine next to the Radio Shack, may I may
not contain beats. Wow, Genghis Khan wet those wings now
seems irresponsible and dangerous. Let's take your car mind set

Grab your coat, Geraldine. We're getting lunch and that's our
